Is anyone interested in a little trade?????

lockeb
15 years ago

I have been reorganizing a few things and I have some fun magazines, booklets that I'd be willing to trade for quilting magazines, patterns, whatever.......no special requirements - just a fun trade..if anyone's interested I'd be glad to post some photos...as the items are taken - I'll post another...

A great way to share ideas and items that we otherwise perhaps would not even see....my items may not all be quilting - could be cross stitch, etc...

Let me know what you think!

To start, here's one item that I'd like to exchange...who would like this?

{{!gwi}}

It's a booklet entitled Easy Cross Stitch Folden Star Ornaments by Carmella Troisi-Hoerr from the American School of Needlework. I was reorganizing and realized that I have 2 copies of this one....

Have a great evening!

    Here's another great item..it's a French book with patterns for REDWORK: "Bears and Company"...25 original designs for quilts, etc. The book as full size patterns....even though it's in French, the patterns/quilt designs are all quite easy to follow from the book.
    And if you have any questions, I am bilingual (French/English)..
    I have one of these.
    Cheers,
    Bill

    Hi everyone,
    This is a great Cross Stitch book - French - but easy to follow with full color patterns and charts...book as 40 patterns/27 projects....it's a stunning book - price on book is $6.95...I have been cleaning and I have found 2 extra copies of this item in my stock......so I'm putting them up for trades as well....
    I'll see what else I can find......
    Have a great evening!

    Found this on the Silk Hope Mulberry: SILK HOPE MULBERRY (Morus alba x M. rubra) Similar to Illinois Everbearing, but not as precocious, productive, not as long a bearing season. However, the fruit is of excellent quality & is slightly larger than Illinois. Better adapted to humid Southeastern states. North Carolina selection by A. J. Bullard. Zone 5-9. Edible Landscaping offers this description: "Large, black fruit which ripens over a long period. Praised in the South as "a winner." Zones 7-9"

    Hi everyone,
    I purchased this little vintage set on Ebay some time ago - they are little miniature quilt decorations that would hand on a little rack for different occasions..the rack broke before it arrived..and I've never used these - just found these stored in my sewing room....would anyone like to trade for these...just let me know....there's a set of 9..they measure approx. 6.5" x 6.5".....with ribbons attached for hanging - which can be reomved if you'd like to used these for doll quilts. (just an idea).
    Have a great evening everyone,

    Hi Jainice...
    Super...It's your's....
    My goal in trading is to try to build on my library of quilt magazines (old/used are great)...patterns, etc...the main purpose of the trade is to have fun - and share items that we have that we don't mind letting go..and getting something else that we normally wouldn't always find locally....
    Thanks for checking in - if you could send me your mailing address at: billshomedecor@hotmail.com I'll get this FQ in tomorrow's mail.
    Cheers,
    Bill

    Tish, thanks for the fabric and the quilt block....that fabric is especially interested - I'm kind of getting into the retro fabrics a bit for some fun projects and this one is going to fit right in....
    Thanks to you both for great swaps....
    Will perhaps list some more swaps again soon - these have been a blast....
    It's a fun way to share.

    Hi everyone,
    Perhaps there are other people with quilt magazines, patterns, fabrics or whatever that they would like to trade for other things - if so, let's make this a regular post so anyone can offer these items for trade - remember, things that you may not what may be what someone else would love to have - and by sharing - you get something back that you may very much enjoy...
    Just an idea... :-)
    Have a great day!
